1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations have advanced the field of computational chemistry tremendously. However, they require the partitioning of a system into two different regions that are treated at different levels of theory, which can cause artifacts at the interface. Furthermore, they are still limited by high computational costs of quantum chemical calculations. In this work, we develop the buffer region neural network (BuRNN), an alternative approach to existing QM/MM schemes, which introduces a buffer region that experiences full electronic polarization by the inner QM region to minimize artifacts. The interactions between the QM and the buffer region are described by deep neural networks (NNs), which leads to the high computational efficiency of this hybrid NN/MM scheme while retaining quantum chemical accuracy. We demonstrate the BuRNN approach by performing NN/MM simulations of the hexa-aqua iron complex.
